Waiting for THE CALL

For all you folks not in the adoption world, THE CALL is the moment when you find out you are matched with a birth mother. A life changing moment.

I haven't gotten it yet, but I daydream about what I'll be doing. I usually dream I'm at work, either in a meeting or sitting at my desk.

This morning, I had a horrified thought. What if I get it when I'm sick and the baby is already here??? I don't want to meet the birth mother when I'm sick as a dog! She will wonder how I'm going to take care of her beautiful child when I can't even take care of myself!

I'm sick today, which is why I'm thinking about this. I'm a fairly pathetic sick person, you know. I just want to wallow in my sickness and have The Husband wait on me... which fortunately, he does without failure or complaint. Thank goodness for him.

I don't anticipate we'll get THE CALL anytime soon, but I'm going to have to take better care of myself, just in case!
